Twins Jazz Foundation



The Twins Jazz Foundation was formed in an effort to stimulate a renewed, living relationship with America’s rich Jazz heritage for younger audiences today, at the same time providing vehicles for students and less-established musicians to extend their mastery of Jazz forms and reach the newer audiences. The Jazz tradition continues to produce fine musical artists who have or are developing their craft via formal music programs, local working bands, or on the road. However, the aging and decreasing numbers of traditional Jazz supporters, and consequent declining financial support, present serious challenges to the continued preservation and propagation of Jazz music in this new age. If Jazz is to continue to prosper and survive as a living genre in the United States, the Jazz fan base ultimately needs to expand beyond the traditional audience.

The Twins Jazz Foundation aims to preserve and promote Jazz as an art form, to provide educational funding assistance to deserving students, and to create opportunities for students and young aspiring musicians to play and perform. We strive to bring greater appreciation and understanding of jazz from traditional to contemporary, via festivals, concerts, forums, workshops, and of course—Jam sessions.
